Spice AI
Developer Relations Lead
$205,000.00/yr - $250,000.00/yr
Building data-driven AI applications and agents is too complex, even for advanced developers. At Spice AI, we’re making it simpler by helping developers combine code, data, and AI to build truly intelligent, decision‑making systems. Our mission is to make this as easy as creating a modern web page.
We created
Spice.ai OSS , a portable AI database written in Rust with a unified SQL interface to query, materialize, and accelerate data from any source, co‑located with machine learning models. By bringing compute, data, and models together, Spice OSS enables secure
AI-Feedback-Loops (AI-Fly-Wheels)
for apps and agents to learn and adapt. We just announced the 1.0‑stable release of Spice.ai OSS.
For a deeper dive into the vision, watch Luke's CMU Databases talk on Spice.ai OSS at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyM-ec1lKfU and read his Materialized View interview at https://materializedview.io/p/building-a-cdn-for-databases-spice-ai.
We're also building the
Spice.ai Cloud Platform , offering managed, cloud‑scale Spice.ai OSS along with tools for high‑performance SQL, machine learning training, and inference in an interconnected AI backend‑as‑a‑service.
At Spice AI, we hire for MEI: Merit, Excellence, and Intelligence. We're looking for exceptional, top‑tier engineers – A players – who are driven to solve hard problems and push the boundaries of what's possible for AI.
